Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat

conversion of steam at 100 C to water at 100 C :

m = mass of the steam = 50 g

L = latent heat of condensation of steam to water = 79.7 J/g

Heat released in conversion of steam to water is given as

Q₁ = mL

inserting the values

Q₁ = (50) (79.7)

Q₁ = 3985 cal


conversion of water at 100 C to water at 37 C :

ΔT = change in temperature = 100 - 37 = 63 C

c = specific heat of water = 1 cal/(gC)

m = mass of water = 50 g

Heat released in change of temperature is given as

Q₂ = m c ΔT

Q₂ = 50 x 1 x 63

Q₂ = 3150 cal

total heat released is given as

Q = Q₁ + Q₂

Q = 3985 + 3150

Q = 7135 cal

As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ

1. A 1000 kg equipment lift travels up a 200 m shaft in 45 seconds. Assuming the speed is constant, what is the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

43,555 W

Explanation:

Since the speed is constant, this means that the force applied to lift the equipment is equal to the weight of the equipment. So we can write:

F=mg

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

So,

F=(1000)(9.8)=9800 N

Then the work done in lifting the equipment is:

W=Fd

where

d = 200 m is the displacement of the equpment

Substituting,

W=(9800)(200)=1.96\cdot 10^6  J

Finally, the power used to lift the equipment is the ratio between the work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W=1.96\cdot 10^6 J

t = 45 s is the time taken

Solving,

P=\frac{1.96\cdot 10^6}{45}=43,555 W

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

8.9 g/cm^3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length * width * height

volume = (8.4 cm)(5.5 cm)(4.6 cm)

volume = 212.52 cm^3

mass = 1896 g

density = (1896 g)/(212.52 cm^3)

density = 8.9 g/cm^3

A. Write two or three sentences to describe the conductivity of an insulator. Explain its conductivity in terms of the electrons
aliya0001 [1]

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt
